A hotel in a beautiful, quiet setting by the park. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, both in the hotel and in the restaurant and bar. The lockers were very handy for leaving luggage and the room was spacious, clean and as described. We would definitely stay again.

Lovely hotel but hardly any housekeeping

We really like this beautiful and unique hotel. It’s a great location and a very atmospheric building. But there is one issue: We stayed 6 nights and our room was cleaned once. We had to chase down housekeeping to get clean towels and toilet paper. It’s not acceptable for a such a nice hotel. It seems they don’t have enough staff for housekeeping. Please address this. We stayed several years before and had the same issue.

Decent hotel

Really pretty venue in a park. The rooms have high ceilings and are well arranged with mini - fridge and toiletries. The bed wasn’t too comfortable as the mattress was too soft and there was a lot of banging coming from some of the guests throughout the night…staff really helpful and accommodating

Hotel is shabby. Housekeeping was a joke - had to ask for shower gel to be replenished second day. Tea/coffee pods not replaced after first day. Left hair conditioner out to be replenished and empty bottle left in exactly same place. Night stands were dirty and sticky upon arrival and I had to clean marks off them myself!!!!

The room was beyond tired the bathroom flooded every time you took a shower due to bad set up, smelt mouldy stains all over the carpet, walls, curtains. It did not appear very clean at all. Really disappointing definitely not a 4 star experience.

I have never been to a 2-star hotel as bad as this one, forget a 4-star one. To start off we were put in a room that had accessibility issues (after knowing we had a small baby with us), when we asked to move the front desk moved us to another one. Conveniently leaving out the info that the room had scaffolding outside, people were working on the scaffolds and because of that the windows hadn’t been opened in days making the entire room musty. We were then moved to another room which worked or so we thought. We called the concierge letting them know the fridge wasn’t working, they sent someone who apparently thought two adults have never used a fridge before because she kept insisting that’s how cool this fridge ever got even after we told her we’d been to two other rooms in the hotel and had no issues with the fridge. Finally a maintenance person came and realised the fridge wasn’t connected to the right power source! For a so called 4-star hotel the service was atrocious. We left signs asking for the room to be cleaned at 10AM and when we came back to the room at 2.30PM it was still unclean. We’d asked for something to be stored in the freezer specifically for the baby, but it was left in the fridge overnight making it useless. The worst part was the front desk saying I should take it up with however I spoke to the previous evening. Even overlooking all this there isn’t much to do around the area, the park is a nice place to spend time but that’s about it.
